Hello

Followed the instructions but no changes take place even after restarting. It seems that chrome folder is ignored. Any ideas?

Thunderbird version: 52.3.0 on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 LTS

Here's the console output in case it helps

Could not read chrome manifest 'file:///usr/lib/thunderbird/chrome.manifest'.

Ok, so it seems that you have to edit your profile.ini file (my was under /home/[user]/.thunderbird and here you have this configs: 

[Profile0]
Name=default
IsRelative=1
Path=SomeRandomString
Default=1

You can change the Path to your Monterail unziped folder, only with this thunderbird can read the styles from the chrome folder and apply it as his default theme. Hope this helps.
